Thinking of buying a home in Florida? Beware: As of October 1st Flood insurance rates are going to be going up. WAY up. Be cautious before purchasing a home in a flood zone. Ask your Realtor if the home is in a flood plain. You (or THEY) can find out simply by looking at the tax records.

The New App for the MLS in Florida is Here!
If you want the most comprehensive app out there for looking at homes online- these are the ones to use!
Did you know that Zillow, Trulia, Homefinder, RedFin, Realestate.com, Home.com and all the others are not 'real time' based. Meaning that you may look on those sites, but the results are not up to date. If you want up to the minute accurate results on your mobile device you should ONLY use the MLS app. And if you are on the PC or laptop, you should be using Realtor.com. That website is linked directly to the MLS and if a property goes into the 'Pending' status, it falls OFF the Realtor.com website. Which means you won't be looking at a house online that is already gone. All of the other website (including my own) are designed to generate leads. If it's run by an agent, then it's designed to generate leads that go directly to that agent. If it's run by a large corporation, like Zillow or Trulia, then they harvest those leads and sell them back to real estate agents as a source of income. Soooooo, if you just want information, and not a sales pitch, use the app below or Realtor.com ;-) Enjoy!
OH- and if you want to earn 1% back on your purchase, just ask me how. Click on my facebook page and see the details- no pressure and completely anonymous.
